The Neopolitan pizza gem in midtown run by Giorgia Caporuscio. She is a female pizziola powerhouse and I can’t tell you how delicious my experience was. You have to go yourself. The pizza was what one would say “transports you to the source” and I agree… with myself. Without knowing the exact products used I…
I’ve definitely talked about the Golden Diner lots in the last few months. Absolutely worth a day trip just for the pancakes alone. Get up and out pretty early to beat the morning rush lined up outside the quaint dive. We only tried a few things on the menu including the pancakes, matcha crumb cake,…
If I ever had a storefront of my own it would probably look like Big Night. I am obsessed with their vintage glassware finds, cookbook collection, and all of the chili oils and tinned fish (even though I don’t eat) you can find. It’s a mecca for a culinary professional or the amateur home cook….
Plan a trip somewhere but nowhere at all- I think that makes sense!? Plan the first few days of the fall around a spontaneous beach trip and THEN do what you feel in the moment. No planning needed. One of my girlfriends goes to Cape May almost every summer and offered a few recommendations…
Mornings where breakfast serve as 2 meals for the day plus dessert— I think you’ve won. I had this spot saved in my instagram NJ folder for months after seeing Sister Snacking post about the gigantic cauliflower looking- bread pudding mound. I grabbed Dillon, a few friends and we went. Go to Antique Bar and…
More reasons to love Kingston—somehow these spots got swept under my nose. Ollie’s slice shop is breaking out pizzas like caramelized onion with melted Italian hot pepper and a very pillowy Sicilian. I’m typically not a fan of the grandma style crushed tomato mound on top of cheese, but this was solid. Fletcher & Lu’s—their…
In paris you melt over afternoon tea at @lemeuriceparis for its most fabulous pastry experience One of the best food experiences I’ve ever had. All of it! The ambiance of the 1700s, pops of gold, and panels of mirrors lining the walls. The tea set was exquisite, earl grey and rooibos poured from silver…
In Germany you: Kaespatzle Frankfurt might not be a hot spot, but we chose to stay a few days and made the most of it. As a kid, I was introduced to spaetzle as a side to braised short ribs. It’s so nostalgic and downright yummy- of course, hailing from a type of dumpling, pasta,…
In Strasbourg, Alsace you stop for fancy gingerbread First patisserie was shoppe; red, quaint, and filled to brim with gingerbread this and that. I’m not a gingerbread gal, but I wanted to experience what seemed to be a popular and award-winning pleasure. Raspberry filled, reminding me of a linzer (I wish it was one!) and…
My second leg of this trip brought me to Brescia where I visited Dario and Roberto at their Pasticceria Bosco. I put on my best outfit for the visit, sipped on freshly squeezed orange juice, and picked out a few pastry to munch on before my piadina. Some of the best people I’ve ever known…
